Rhys Darby: "I’ll get John Key to the ball"

Comedian Rhys Darby has helped kick off a nationwide fund-raising drive to help pay Prime Minister John Key’s way to the UN climate talks in Copenhagen in December, with a “Darby Barbie” in Auckland.

“Some say I'm pretty handy on the barbie after two years working as a BBQ sales technician, so I thought I’d prove this in order to help get Mr. John Key to the ball,” said Mr Darby, from outside the Warehouse store in Newmarket, where his sausage sizzle took place.

Other Sign On ambassadors, including actress Keisha Castle-Hughes and Lucy Lawless, also took up tongs.

The “Key to Copenhagen” project is part of the Sign On campaign, which is calling for Key to commit to a 40% by 2020 emissions reduction target at Copenhagen (www.signon.org.nz). The Newmarket event was one of a range of similar fundraising activities being held by Sign On volunteers around the country throughout the day. You can donate online here.

It looks like John is having the good sense to stay home; I hope he does.
It looks like people are finally beginning to see the truth about so-called "global warming". Even the BBC is coming around -

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.
And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.
So what on Earth is going on?

Climate change sceptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man's influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming.

We saw it coming....
